Courses of Study.
In order to meet the wants of a larger class of Students, six regular
courses of study are })rovided, namely: The Normal English, Belles
Leltres, Science and Literature, Classical, Art, and Music. Students may
ado[)t any of these courses exclusively, or may select such studies from
them as they desire, subject to the ai)proval of the Faculty.
The Normal English is designed to meet the increasing demand for
teachers in our Common Schools, and is heartily commended to vounir
ladies and gentlemen who desire thorough instruction and drill in the Eng-
lish branches. To those who complete this course a I)i})loma, expressing
the scholarshi}) attained, will he given.
The Belles Lettres Course is si)ecially arranged to .iccommodate young
ladies who may wish to omit the Higher Mathematics beyond Elementary
Algebra and (Jeometry. It thus allbrds op[)()rtunity to connect studies in
Music and Art with a well selected course in Literature and Science.
Tiie Course in Science and Literature is intended to give wider culture
and more thorough mental discipline. It differs from the ('lassical Course
mainly in that it omits the (xreek Language entirely, and makes Latin elec-
tive with (ierman or French during the first two years. Before entering
upon this course, the Student nuist be thoroughly ac(piainted with the Com-
mon English branches.
The Classical ('ourse is much more extensive than is ordinarilv pursued
at Seminaries. It will compare favorably with the Curriculum adopted by
our best institutions of learning. We offer it with entire coniidence to
young men who are preparing for ])r()fessi()nal life, and also to voun**-
ladies who as})ire to superior intellectual culture. The preparation for
this {'ourst' is a tliorough knowledge of the studies embraced in the Pre-
j)aratory Course.
Young men (Usiring to enter the lower or higher classes in Colle^J-e are
allowed to take such studies as they need for that i)urpose.

WILLI AMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY.
General Information.
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY
Is an institution of high grade, with ample facilities for
giving young ladies and gentlemen a superior education.
It is oi-ganized ui)on the plans which have been approved
l)y long experience, and adopted l)y the best schools in this
country, embracing all modern appliances in means and
methods of instruction. It was founded in 1848, and is reg-
ularlv chartered bv the Legislature of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, and authorized to confer degrees upon those who
complete the i)rescribed courses of study.
The Seminary is under the patronage of the Central Penn-
sylvania Conference, being owned and practically managed
bv the Preachers' Aid Societv. As this investment was rather
to ])romote the important work of Iliglier Christian Educa-
tion than to make money, the ])aramount purpose is to combine
tliorough instruction and careful moral training with the com-
forts of a good home, at the lowest possil>le rates.
L()(L\TI()X.
Williams])()rt is one of the most beautiful and healthy places
in the State. It has ncn'cr been sul)ject to epidemics of any
kind. Manv cominii' to the school in poor health have I'C-
tui'neil fullv restored. Th(; citv is situabMl on the West liranch
of the Sus([uehanna River, has a population of twenty thousand,
is widely known for its intelligcaice, its entei'prise, tlie taste
displayed in the character of its ])ubli(* buildings and private
i-esidences. and the moral a|)plia]ices with which it is furnished,

lectual as well as aesthetic and moral, ai*e i>:enerallv limited,
rai'ely I'earhing l)eyond the institution itself, arid Innice student
lile must l)eeome monotonous, lacking the inspiration which a

larger place with wider opportunities affords. Twenty-seven
churches, an active temperance organization, and a branch of
the Y. M. C. A., embracing many of the most earnest Chris-
tians in the community, with a large library free to all, and
accessible at all times, indicate some of the religious influ-
ences brought to bear upon the young in Williamsport.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings occupy an eminence overlooking the city,
and are surrounded by beautiful shade trees, while the grounds
contain five acres, aftbrding ample room for exercise and play.
They are brick, heated by furnaces in the cellar, and supplied
throughout with pure mountain water.
The ladies' department is furnished with bath-room and all
modern appliances for comfort, and in the entire arrangement
of the buildings great care has been taken for the conveni-
ence and health of the occupants.
The ladies' apartments are entirely separate from the others,
and there is no association of the sexes hut in the presence
of their instructors. The happy influence, inutually exerted,
in their slight association in the recitation ro(un, at the table,
and in the public exercises of the chapel, is to be seen in the
cultivation of a cheerful and animated disposition, in the
formation of good habits and manners, in ardent devotion to
studv,and in the attainment of high moral character. These,
with manv other valuabh^ results, have establisluMl the f^ict
ft.'
that the best plan for a school is, according to the evident de-
si<m of Providence in the constitution of society, on the l)asis
of a well regulated Christian family. The members of the
Faculty live in the hfdldlny, eat at the same tables, and have
constant oversight of (dl the Stadents.
ROOMS AND FIJRNITIJRK.
The rooms are larger than in most boarding schools, the
ladies' being IfixK} feet, and the gcmthunen's 20x1)^ feet.
They are furnishcMl with all h(\avy articles, and, if desired, any
room will ho entindy furnished; ])ut Students may bring their

Keeping and Penmanship. There are no extras what-
ever, except for ornamental branches and Modern Languages,

whose adv^ertised rates are higher than ours, increase the ex-
penses still more by numerous "extras.^'
8^^ We ask tliose wlio are seeking education for them-
selves, and parents who contemplate sending their children to
a boarding scliool, to carefully note the fact, that we furnish

of Minerals, and a lai-ge supply of Chemical and Laboratory
Utensils, thus affording lacility for illustration and experiment.
MERIT AND DEMERIT.
A daily record is ke])t of all the exercises of the School,
from which record the Students will be graded. A record of
demerits is also k(^pt. Tardiness, unexcused absences from
r(M|uir(Ml (^\er(*ises. and all disorderly conduct, will sul)j'ect the
Student to dcnnerit marks. Ten such marks i)ring a private
reproof before the Faculty; twenty a ])ublic repi'imand befbi'e
the wlioh* School; and thirty mav s(Mid the offender away.
Sessional re])orts are sent to })arents.

tendance upon these social services is optional with the
Students.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Exercises in Spelling, Etymology, Reading, Declamation
and Original Composition are required of all the Students
throughout the year. In addition to these, public exercises
are held in the Seminary chapel every Friday evening, at
which the more advanced Students read essays or deliver
original speeches, interspersed with vocal or instrumental
music, furnished by the Music Department.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are three flourishing literary societies connected with
the Seminary: the Belles Lettres, the Gamma Epsilon, and
the Tripartite Union. The first two are in the gentlemen's,
and the last in the ladies' department. Each has a well fur-
nished hall and a judiciously selected library, aggregating
more than two thousand volumes. Each prepai'cs and reads
a paper in the chaj)el once in thri^c^ weeks, in connection with
other literary exercises, thus furnishing inspiration to intel-
lectual culture, as well as entertainment for the Students and
the public.
INSTRUCTION.
Our methods are modern, and adapted to the need of tlie
Students. No j)ains are s])ared to give thorough, practical
and scholarly traininu" in all the d(M)artm(Mits by teachers of
superioi' attainments and (\x])eri(Mice. Besides instruction in
connection with the text book, IcH'tures illustrated by expiM'i-
ments are given IVom tinn^ to tinje.
OUTFIT. •
Every Student should be supplied with wai'm and durable
clothing, heavy boots and shoes, an umbrella, and a pair of
slipj)ers to Ix^ worn in the room. All articles should be plainly
marked with the full name of the owner. We suggest that
:

A WORD TO PARENTS.
1. J|@^Try to have your children here on the first day
of the term, but not before, as we will not be ready to receive
them. The classes are formed on the second day, and it will
be better for all concerned that the Student start regiilarly
with his class.
2. If possible, do not call them away during the session.
Al)sence, if only for a few days, disarranges the class, and is gen-
erally the beginning of irregularity on the part of the scholar.
3. Do not allow your children to leave the School before
the examinations, unless it cannot be avoided. Serious incon-
venience, to all concerned, often arises from a neglect of this
caution.
4. Supply them very sparingly with spending money.
Parents cannot be too cautious on this point.
5. Select for your child one of the Instructors, as a patron,
to distrii)ute his funds. In this way a more judicious use of
your money will l)e made, and your child will be kept from
many temptations.
B®" Students not boarding in the Institution must observe
the following i-ules:
1. Attend daily ])rayers.
2. Must attend all the Seminary exercises punctually.
3. Must si)end the intervals between recitations in the
Study Hall.
4. Must account for all absence by written excuse without
d(*lay, tiuKi and numlx^r of recitations being specified.
5. Must not visit the reoms of boarders without per-
mission.
MEANS OF ACCESS.
Th(* Philadelphia and Erie, the Northern Central and the
IMiiladeI])hia and Reading Railroads pass through the city, so
that Williams])ort is readily accessible from all (juarters.
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY.
35
J|@^By special arrangements all our Students procure
tickets at excursion rates over the Pennsylvania, the Phila-
delphia and Erie, the Northern Central and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroads and their Branches, both going to and
returning from their homes, thus materially reducing the
expenses of travel. We call the special attention of parents
and those seeking education to this fact, and at the same time
gratefully recognize the liberality of these railroad companies
in dealing with our Institution.
GRADUATES AND FORMER STUDENTS.
It may be safely estimated that from eight to ten thousand
persons have received academic instruction, covering from
one to three years, in Williamsport Dickinson Seminary, while
two hundred and thirty-four have completed the prescribed cur-
riculum, graduating with the degrees the Institution confers.
We desire to bring all these into active sympathy and co-
operation with their Alma Maier, and hence we ask all
persons to whom this notice may come, who have been Stu-
dents here, to send us their address, with any information
concerning their personal history that may l)e of general in-
terest, as we wish to compile a complete catalogue of all the
Students now living.
There is a general meeting of the Alumni every yeai*, the
day l)efore Commencement. We extend a most cordial invi-
tation to all old Students to attend the meeting this vear,
which will be held June 20, afternoon and evening. If vou
/ «... J •/
cannot come, let us hear from you by letter.
And, now, may I not ask you to aid in enlarging the sphere
and increasing the j)o\ver of our Ahna Mater f You can do
much in inanv wavs, but vou can at least direct those looking
for a good Boarding School to ours, or send me their address
on a postal card. Carry the Seminary in your heart. She is
doing a worthy work, and earnestly asks her sons and daugh-
ters to help her.

Opinions of Patrons and Friends.
That the public may know tlic estimate placed upon the
Seminary by those who are practically acquainted with its
management and work, we append some testimonials i-eceived
rel*ently from patrons and friends:
Baltimore, Md., May 5, 1878.
Rev. E. J. (iKAY,
Deak Sir : It affords mo great pleasure to state that I consider your school, in
every respect, worthy of confidence, having- had a ward under your instruction
the past year. I am much pleased with liis progress, and had i other wards or
children to educate, would gladly avail myself of the facilities of Dickinson Semi-
nary. B. F. Parlett, Merchant,

Detroit, Mich,, May 6, 1878.
1 visited Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport, Pa., in September, 18T7, in search
of an institution of learning of a high grade, combining home comforts, healthful-
ness, excellent discipline and superior facilities for mental and moral culture, for
my son, aged 18 years. After two days' examination of the city and the Seminary,
])ecoming ac(iuainted with its Faculty, courses of study, and the morale of Its stu-
dents, the beauty and healthfulness of its locality, I found it all I desired. The
impi'oved health and progress in studies of my son fully justify my selection, I
most cheerfully recommend the Institution to parents desiring the above qualifi-
cations, William Pheli's, Wliolesale Grocer,
91 Washington Av.
Hanover, Pa.
Having been a patron of your Institution for the past three years, I have no
hesllancy In saying that your fa(;llities for the mental and moral training of young
[X'ople are most excellent— in my opinion, cannot be excelled by any otlier institu-
tion of the kind in the State, For discipline I consider it especially good, and
would advise any one wishing to advance the education of their children to send
them. Yours, &c., I). 1). Bixler,

cate. As a school it Is "beautiful tor situation," healthful in location, excellent

Clearfield, Pa., Mays, ls78.
I have been acquainted with the institution over IG years, having been a stu-
dent there for more than three years.
I regard it as one of the best institutions in the country for those who have
not the time or means to complete a full course in the higher colleges, but as far
as Its course goes, it compares favorably even with these.
It combines the most approved methods of study and drill with home com-
forts and a healthful and desirable location. I am glad to say that very great
improvements have been Introduced by President Gray, and the Institution is
now on a good basis, with fair prospects of future prosperity.

Waverly, Md., May, 1878.
I know of no school that I could recommend more cheerfully to those having
children to educate than Dickinson Seminary, now under the control of Kev. Ed-
ward J. Gray, w^hom 1 consider eminently qualified to fill such an Important posi-
tion. Having had one son and daughter educated in this institution, and one s6n
there at the present time, I am free to say that the advantages of home comforts,
healthfulness, discipline and facilities for mental and moral culture offered by
Dickinson Seminary, are, in my opinion, all that those seeking higher education, or
parents looking for a school for their children, could ask or desire.

An acquaintance with this school for many years, together with a frequent

unhesitatingly commend the Seminary to any one wishing to send sons or daugh-

Having biM'u a patron of Dickinson Seminary for four years, I take pleasure In
I'eooninKMKllnt^ It to parents liavln<c sons and daug-hters to educate.
Its (Ustinj^ulshlnK featurt^s and those wlilcli Inlluenced me in remaining a
patron are, the parental discipline, ample and comfortable accommodations,
healthy location, jisslduous and lntelllff(^nt Instruction, by competent and kind
teachers, who aim not only to Improve and enrich the mind, but have also always
manlf(\sted a parent's solicitude and care for the moral and spiritual Improvement
of their pupils. Dickinson Seminary has my best wishes for the future,

I have visited Dickinson Seminary, officially and otherwise, a number of
times ; have personal knowled<2:e of Its beautiful location, picturesque surround-
In^^s and easy access by rail and other roads. And, as to home comforts, health,
discipline, f{lclllth^s for mental and moral culture, I commend the school most,
In these particulars, to those seekln*,'- a hlj^fher education, and to parents looking
for a s(!hO()l for tluUr children, when I state that tor the last four years I have had
from one to three of my children In constant attendance. J. W. Hedges.

My (lauf,'-hter has attended Dickinson Seminary for the last two years, and the
^'•ratlt ude of a parent, when the highest and best Interests of a child have been
carefully studied and ably promoted renders the task a pleasant one to speak
earnestly In commendation of tli(; Institution. We think the Faculty both
(U)!np 'lent and conschmt ious. and all ar(^ fortunate In the ability of Its presiding
ollicor, who guards all Its Interests sacredly. (Jko. P. Bakbek, Lumberman.

I esteem It a very groat privilege to say that I have an extended knowledge
of Dickinson Seminary, having sent six children there, two of whom were con-
v('rt(Ml at the scliool ; t wo also graduated there. I regard the Seminary, In point
of moral and mental culture, as one of the Jlrst schools In our country. My occu-
l)ation is a farmer. Nathan C. Conner.

As a student of Dh^klnson Seminary, I can testify that for discipline, health-
fuliK.'ss, facilities for mental and moral culture and home comforts, the Seminary
can scarcely be equaled. It Is splendidly situated for a school, commanding- a
tin^' view of th(! city and surrounding country. The advantages In literature an^
X)ar excellence. Wm. A. KNKiiiT.

I spent six days as a visitor at this school and have been delighted with th(i
discipline and liome comforts. I never saw tilings conducted as well on so large
a seal*'. Kvcry tiling is done with sucii system and order, I feel as my son says:
'"I'ou ha\(' to Icai-n if you are there "" For healthfulness It Is certainly unsurpassed.
I think, un icr Mi*, (ira.v's niaiiigeinenf, everything Is prospering rtnely.

Allow ine to e\i)i-ess my high regard for your Institution. I never had the
